It makes sense because on that the day  the sun stops moving northward and starts moving southward

Answer:

Explanation:

Solstice is gotten from the Latin word 'solstitium'. 'sol' means the sun and 'sistere' means 'to cause to stand or stand still'. From an astronomical point of view, this translation makes sense because this term is used to describe that particular instance when the sun attains its maximum northern point or maximum southern point from the equator of the earth.

When the sun attains northernmost point from the equator, summer solstice occurs and consequently causing the Earth to experience the longest day of the year. Similarly, when the sun attains its southernmost point from the equator, the Earth's proximity to the sun is at its closest and thereby making the Earth to experience the shortest day of the year. Astronomically, this is known as the winter solstice

Based on Archimedes' principle, the greatest buoyant force an object can experience in water is determined by which quantity?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

B. The object's volume

Explanation:

When an object is immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force. The magnitude of the buoyant force is given by:

B=\rho_f V_{disp} g

where

\rho_f is the density of the fluid in which the object is immersed

V_{disp} is the volume of the fluid displaced by the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

When the object is totally immersed in the fluid, V_{disp} corresponds to the volume of the object; when the object is only partially immersed, V_{disp} corresponds only to the volume of the part of the object immersed.

From the formula, we see that the greatest buoyant force is experienced by the object when it is fully immersed. Moreover, we see that the buoyant force depends only on one property of the object: its volume. Therefore, the correct choice is

B. The object's volume

Two cars travel westward along a straight highway, one at a constant velocity of 85 km/h, and the other at a constant velocity o
spayn [35]

To solve letter a:

d1 = 85t1 = 16 km, 
85t1 = 16, 
t1 = 16 / 85 = 0.1882 h = 11.29 min. 

d2 = 115t2 = 16 km, 
115t2 = 16, 
t2 = 16 / 115 = 0.139 h = 8.35 min. 

t1 - t2 = 11.29 - 8.35 = 2.94 min. 
Car #2 arrives 2.94 minutes sooner.

To solve letter b:

15 min = 1/4 h = 0.25 h. 
d1 = d2, 
115t = 85(t + 0.25), 
115t = 85t + 21.25, 
115t - 85t = 21.25, 
30t = 21.25, 
t = 21.25 / 30 = 0.71 h, 

d = 115 * 0.71 = 81.65 km.

A capacitor is charged until its stored energy is 7.54 J. A second capacitor is then connected to it in parallel. If the charge
Ivan

Answer:

2 J

Explanation:

A charged capacitor of capacitance C_1 with energy of 7.54 J, is connected in parallel with another capacitor C_2 , so the charge is equally distributed between them.

(a) The energy stored in the capacitor before it being connected to the other capacitor is:

U_O=q_0^2/2C_1=7.54 J\\

The energy stored in the electric field is the sum of the energies of the two capacitors:

U=U_1+U_2\\U=q_1^2/2C_1+q_2^2/2C_2

since the charge equally distributed,  q_1 = q_2 = q_o/2. and since they are connected in parallel the potential difference on both of them is the same :

V_1=V_2\\q_1/C_1=q_2/C_2\\q_0/C_1=q_0/C_2\\C_1=C_2=C_3\\

hence,

U=q_0^2/8C+q_0^2/8C\\U=q_0^2/4C\\U=2J

What properties of the wave define why it is found within this area of the spectrum?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed and medium are properties of a wave which is in common within an area of the spectrum of visible light. i.e;

Their medium of propagation

They both travel at the same speed ( speed of light )

The properties mentioned above are properties that define that wave is found within an area spectrum for visible light.

ASTM A229 oil-tempered carbon steel is used for a helical coil spring. The spring is wound with D = 50 mm d = 10.0 mm, and a pit
horrorfan [7]

Answer

given,

D = 50 mm = 0.05 m

d = 10 mm = 0.01 m

Force to compress the spring

F = \dfrac{d^4G\delta}{8D^3N}

\dfrac{\delta}{N} = p - d = 14 - 10 = 4 mm

F = \dfrac{d^4G}{8D^3}\times 0.004

F = \dfrac{0.1^4\times 79\times 10^9}{8\times 0.05^3}\times 0.004

     F = 3160 N

stress correction factor from stress correction curve is equal to 1.1

now, calculation of corrected stress

\tau = \dfrac{8FDk_s}{\pi d^3}

\tau = \dfrac{8\times 3160 \times 0.05 \times 1.1}{\pi \times 0.01^3}

              = 442.6 Mpa

The tensile strength of the steel material of  ASTM A229 is equal to 1300 Mpa

now,

\tau_s \leq 0.45 S_u

\tau_s \leq 0.45 \times 1300

\tau_s \leq 585\ Mpa

since corrected stress is less than the \tau_s

hence, spring will return to its original shape.
